When I announced the release of my maiden novel  A WALK IN MY SHOES,  all the contacts were in state of shock how and when this happened. Only few close friends were known that I am planning to publish a novel. Everyone appreciated it and people are loving my story and few persons asked for the release date of next story.

Q) What is a literary success for you?

Literary success means when my story is able to connect every reader. If I am able to connect with emotions of my readers then I will be successful.

Q) Message for readers

I know that today’s world is of OTT platforms and they show content for which youth is craving but trust me readers stories are still the source of their content. Every story/novel in world is somewhere related to real life incidents of people. Instead of going for imaginations shown in OTT go for reading as there you will be seeing the world from other’s eye.

Some famous person have said well:- 
A READER LIVES A THOUSAND LIVES.
